Unigine::NodeTrigger Class

Creating a Trigger Node#

To create a Trigger node, simply call the NodeTrigger constructor and then add the node as a child to another node, for which handlers should be executed.

AppWorldLogic.h (C++)

#include <UnigineLogic.h>

using namespace Unigine;

class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic {

public:

	virtual int init();
	virtual int update();

	/*...*/

private:

	ObjectMeshStaticPtr object;
	NodeTriggerPtr trigger;

	// EventConnections class instance to manage event subscriptions
	EventConnections econnections;
};

AppWorldLogic.cpp (C++)

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"

using namespace Math;

int AppWorldLogic::init() {

	// create a mesh
	object = ObjectMeshStatic::create("core/meshes/box.mesh");
	// change material albedo color
	object->setMaterialParameterFloat4("albedo_color", vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0);

	// create a trigger node
	trigger = NodeTrigger::create();

	// add the trigger node to the static mesh as a child node
	object->addWorldChild(trigger);

	return 1;
}

Editing a Trigger Node#

Editing a trigger node includes implementing and specifying the Enabled and Position event handlers that are executed on enabling or positioning the Trigger node correspondingly.

The event handler must receive at least 1 argument of the NodeTrigger type. In addition, it can also take another 2 arguments of any type.

The event handlers are set via pointers specified when subscribing to the following events: EventEnabled and EventPosition.

AppWorldLogic.h (C++)

#include <UnigineLogic.h>
#include <UnigineGame.h>

using namespace Unigine;

class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic {

public:

	virtual int init();
	virtual int update();

	/*...*/

private:

	ObjectMeshStaticPtr object;
	NodeTriggerPtr trigger;

	// EventConnections class instance to manage event subscriptions
	EventConnections econnections;

	void position_event_handler(const NodeTriggerPtr &trigger)
	{
		Log::message("Object position has been changed. New position is: (%f %f %f)\n", trigger->getWorldPosition().x, trigger->getWorldPosition().y, trigger->getWorldPosition().z);
	}

	void enabled_event_handler(const NodeTriggerPtr &trigger)
	{
		Log::message("The enabled flag is %d\n", trigger->isEnabled());
	}
};

AppWorldLogic.cpp (C++)

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"

using namespace Math;

int AppWorldLogic::init() {

	// create a mesh
	object = ObjectMeshStatic::create("core/meshes/box.mesh");
	// change material albedo color
	object->setMaterialParameterFloat4("albedo_color", vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0);

	// create a trigger node
	trigger = NodeTrigger::create();

	// add the trigger node to the static mesh as a child node
	object->addWorldChild(trigger);

	// subscribe for the Enabled and Position events
	trigger->getEventEnabled().connect(econnections, this, &AppWorldLogic::enabled_event_handler);
	trigger->getEventPosition().connect(econnections, this, &AppWorldLogic::position_event_handler);

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::update()
{

	float time = Game::getTime();
	Vec3 pos = Vec3(Math::sin(time) * 2.0f, Math::cos(time) * 2.0f, 0.0f);
	object->setEnabled(pos.x > 0.0f || pos.y > 0.0f);
	object->setWorldPosition(pos);

	return 1;
}

NodeTrigger Class

Members

Event<const Ptr<NodeTrigger> &> getEventPosition() const#

Event triggered when the trigger node position has changed. The event handler must receive a NodeTrigger as its first argument. In addition, it can also take 2 arguments of any type. You can subscribe to events via connect() and unsubscribe via disconnect(). You can also use EventConnection and EventConnections classes for convenience (see examples below).

Notice

For more details see the Event Handling article.

The event handler signature is as follows: myhandler(const Ptr<NodeTrigger> & trigger)

static NodeTriggerPtr create ( ) #

Constructor. Creates a new trigger node.

void setEnabledCallbackName ( const char * name ) #

Sets a callback function to be fired when the trigger node is enabled. The callback function must be implemented in the world script (on the UnigineScript side). The callback function can take no arguments, a Nodeor a NodeTrigger.

Notice

The method allows for setting a callback with 0 or 1 argument only.

On UnigineScript side:

Source code (UnigineScript)

void enabled_callback(Node node) {
	log.message("The enabled flag is %d\n", node.isEnabled());
}

On C++ side:

Source code (C++)

int AppWorldLogic::init() {

	// create a trigger node
	trigger = NodeTrigger::create();

	// set the enabled event handler function to be executed when the node is enabled/disabled

	trigger->setEnabledCallbackName("enabled_event_handler");

	return 1;
}

Arguments

const char * name - Name of the callback function implemented in the world script (UnigineScript side).

const char * getEnabledCallbackName ( ) const#

Returns the name of callback function to be fired on enabling the trigger node. This callback function is set via setEnabledCallbackName().

Return value

Name of the callback function implemented in the world script (UnigineScript side).

void setPositionCallbackName ( const char * name ) #

Sets a callback function to be fired when the trigger node position has changed. The callback function must be implemented in the world script (on the UnigineScript side). The callback function can take no arguments, a Nodeor a NodeTrigger.

Notice

The method allows for setting a callback with 0 or 1 argument only.

On UnigineScript side:

Source code (UnigineScript)

// implement the position callback
void position_changed(NodeTriggerPtr trigger) {
	log.message("A new position of the node is %s\n", typeinfo(node.getWorldPosition()));
}

On C++ side:

Source code (C++)

int AppWorldLogic::init() {

	// create a trigger node
	trigger = NodeTrigger::create();

	// set the position event handler function to be executed when the node position is changed

	trigger->setPositionCallbackName("position_event_handler");

	return 1;
}

Arguments

const char * name - Name of the callback function implemented in the world script (UnigineScript side).

const char * getPositionCallbackName ( ) const#

Returns the name of callback function to be fired on changing the trigger node position. This function is set by using the setPositionCallbackName()function.

Return value

Name of the callback function implemented in the world script (UnigineScript side).

static int type ( ) #

Returns the type of the node.

Return value
